I definitely think we should have a discussion like this, because I have noticed it A LOT more recently than ever before! Especially since I have been getting anxiety about it every time I have to log into the internet.

Sometimes I do worry about it how will it effect the BBW, BHM and FA community and it’s future going forward.

…

Right then, so as far as I know fat hate has been around for as long as I remember. Especially if we’re talking about those “offensive” fat jokes from forms of entertainment and media. And I was very much aware of all this from personal experience and before body positivity/acceptance became relevant.

I also know that body positivity/acceptance is somehow allied with LBGTQ+ and Liberal groups and types of media. And guess who opposes? The Conservatives. Yes I think that the Conservatives (or conservative minded people) might have something to do with the rising hate towards fat acceptance recently.

Now I’m not attacking the Conservatives, because they’re NOT the ONLY reason. But it’s something to think about.

There’s also the fact of the statistic side of things of the rising levels of obesity around the world, not to mention the death toll of heart disease and other complications from obesity. And I believe some people now hate and/or turn their back on fat acceptance because of that too, especially when they’ve lost a loved one relating to this.

Finally, I think that some people now hate fat acceptance is because of the hate some people get within the community from like-minded individuals! It’s also explains on how some liberals turned to the dark side because of the people who one had supported/believed in hates them just as much as ones from the other side. And honestly that doesn’t surprise me from my own experience from being on here *cough *cough.

Munchies also has a point that fat hate it the “few socially acceptable forms of bullying” because of medical reasons and the diet/weight loss culture that has brainwashed people into believing that “fat is a kind of moral failure”. Which is depressing to see and hear about as a guy who likes bigger people, but it’s painfully true to an extent.

I also liked Angelette’s point of the cringe culture too. Now there are some exceptions like the “I identify as skinny” thing is a little egotistical in my opinion. But some people really like to label someone plus size and confident as cringe because it’s something that their egos are too big to understand something out of the ordinary.

So props to you fellas!


Oh boy, that was a looong post! So I apologize about that, but I had a LOT to say about this! But it’s lovely to know that I’m not alone who feels this way. So with that I thank you!

Well being someone who’s about 5’11 with a little bit of muscle. Some people do assume that I would be somewhat hefty. But really I’m not as heavy as I look as soon as someone has me up on their shoulders or just straight up lifting me. 😅

I hope you are right about this! Even if you and I don’t like each other, your opinion in this thread does make things sound more hopeful?? I’m not sure what the best word for it, but I do appreciate it (for me personally).

That is quite a bit excessive, but at the same time I can understand where you are coming from.

Hmm… this is a very good question. Especially when it’s something to ask about FAs.

Now I have liked bellies and have an attraction for plus size women for a long time. I would even consider myself an ally if would say so (even if I completely suck at it). As much as I am what I am attracted to, I have had doubts about it from time to time.

Now I do my best to not think about it as a fetish, but more so in a body positive/gratification light. Whenever I am with someone in a dating perspective, I do want to encourage them to feel comfortable in their own skin.

Sadly no matter how hard I try or even if I do tell them that I like what I see, it just feels like it’s never enough. Or they would give me that “I hate my belly/body” comment.

However it wasn’t all bad because I have had girlfriends who are okay with the fact that I liked bellies. And some that did feel confident thanks to my influence. Ha ha! However there were also some girlfriends in the past that completely lied to me and completely faked it.

Oh, not to mention that ever since that body positivity and fat acceptance went downhill, that took a big hit to my confidence. Now it’s almost tricky not to have anxiety every time I see some anti-fat content on YouTube or Snapchat or anywhere on my social media feed. Luckily I am trying to figure out a way to find a new purpose or mindset for body positivity in a 2020s lens, but it’s been a difficult recovery.

So I guess to answer the question on do I wish I wasn’t a Fat Admirer? Well honestly NO, but if wasn’t for the anxiety… then also YES.

Like I said, I LOVE the kind of women that I’m attracted to. No trolling or hate out there is gonna stop me for liking what I like. But getting wound up in the world of weight loss and anti-fat culture can be a bit of a headache.

I personally like a smooth belly, but I am quite tolerable for a belly that has a little bit of hair here and there. 👍

It depends on what I feel like playing. I’m into games like Forza and Need for Speed.

Sometimes I switch it up some something like Skyrim or the NBA 2K games.

Ha ha! Good one. 😆

Could it be coming from a particular pairs of pants that you’re wearing? Especially one that hasn’t been washed in awhile? Sometimes I do get itchy from that.

Hmm good question. I would say any crush that I had while I was in high school, or anyone who had one with me at the time.

But that’s who first comes into mind.
